Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0905953A2] A telephone system implementing a telephone bar code reader for dialing and information transmission over a telephone network. The major components of the present invention are a bar code scanner, controller ROM code to interpret the bar code reader output and generate appropriate DTMF pulses, and a means of triggering execution. A telephone system user points the bar code scanner at a bar code and activates a triggering device, such as a button or toggle, to trigger execution of the present invention. The bar code reader then scans the bar code information and the bar code reader input is interpreted and appropriate Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) pulses are transmitted over the telephone network. <IMAGE>
